This paper describes the effectiveness of various methods of presentation to include overhead projector transparencies, printed materials and verbal instructions. Two courses were used in the experiment, one on Japanese History and the other on World Geography. The effects of different types of visual patterns upon the learners' understanding was also analyzed. Sentence patterns were compared with important key word patterns. The results showed that the most effective type of presentation was where the key words were presented using an OHP supplemented by the use of a pointer and verbal instructions. The lowest scores were seen for verbal only presentations.
